Piaggio Zip 50cc not starting... :(

Hello. I got a Piaggio Zip 50cc. It is not starting. At first, I could hear my starter clicking but not starting the bike. Then, I was kick-starting it, and it would start after many kicks.

It's been 1 week now that even after changing the spark plug, neither through the starter, nor kick-starting it doesn't start the bike. Please help.

Piaggio Zip 50cc. How to kick start the Piaggio Zip 50 please.

Question edited for clarity.

Yes, there is a safety interlock that requires either the front or rear brake to be applied. It is mentioned here, but not in respect to the kickstarter which appears to be an optional extra..

2008 Piaggio Zip 50 will not start

Sounds like the cold start system needs looking at . As long as the engine is turning over and firing it should eventually start. Mine had the same problem.

Where does my 2 stroke oil Go in my piaggio Zip 50cc 2007

There should be a tank, usually under the seat or behind the rear side panels. Just fill the 2-stroke tank and don't worry about the mixing, the engine does it on it's own.
